Where there is dedication and hunger, possibilities are endless. It's not talent alone. That's why i've no doubt that Shai Hope will succeed eventually. Once hunger, determination and talent mix, success is the only result.

I thought he took too many singles and didn't attack enough.

Thank god he was not listening to you.

He batted correctly until he opened up in the laat 4 overs. That must have been the plan.

I always saying ...there's something about that lad R.Powell. I sense that he has a winning mentality. I hope he does not rush off to pick up t20 change and instead works on his game, takes whatever opportunities come up to play the long form ... at least regionally. CG would never have been the T20 star he is without the good grounding of the longer game.
The other thing he needs to do is not try to be an Andre Russell. Russell is obviously a role model for him but there is only one Russell. Powell can become a more controlled but powerful hitter in the future.

That was in the final 4 overs..thought he should have been looking to go big, he was 13 off 12 at this point, we'd just lost the 7th wicket at the end of the 16th over, i think this over was too many singles should have been trying hard for twos at least.
He contributed 7 runs in the 18th over and 6 in the 19th
I really just had issue with that one over, the 17th

The guy faced only two deliveries in that over!

In reply to Logic
To me he has great attitude, but a really porous defence. Those batting stats don't lie. He is a useful bowler, but he seldom gets the ball.

Guess thats my problem..he gave Nurse the strike!!!
He got it back..then turned it over again!!!

Rashid to Brathwaite, OUT, bowled 'im! Straight through, there'll be no sixy hitting from captain Carlos tonight... He was aiming to sweep but looked like he had got too far across and simply left his stumps exposed

Too many singles in the 16th too..Russell would have been going big, Sammy would have been going big..DJ Bravo would have been going big.
I didnt mind his innings..i jus thought he could have attempted more shots..he seemed way too content to get off strike, like he was playing for a not out.
Alls well that ends well..ijs it wasnt the kind of T20I innings i was gonna start a thread about..it was just ok..fair to fine
Nothing that made me see him as anythng more or less than I did before the match

You get that from a few overs, in a T20 game?

He's still a bit timid when defending, but he seems to have recognized his batting weaknesses and is working on overcoming them. Good for him and WI.
2017-09-17 17:15:40
He didn't face much spin so the English didn't do their homework.
But his batting was really intelligent.
He played it around for singles and then had a go at the end.
Pollard, Samuels an Carlos dismissals were headless an showed no match awareness.
2017-09-17 17:18:16
I thought his approach showed he was placing a higher value on his wicket perhaps more than he has in the past. Therefore, he played more orthodox cricket shots as he was intent on being there for the final 2 overs
2017-09-17 17:32:42
Pollard struggles with short pitched deliveries and refuses to work on this weakness. That is the difference of Shai Hope and Evin Lewis. These guys are actively fine tuning their technique and the world is looking up.

DIEHARD says the over where Powell faced two balls and scored two singles and failed to keep the strike is the reason for his criticism of Powell!
I was wondering if I should ask DIEHARD on which planet he played his cricket. But then I saw JamMack's post which I hope should explain what Powell was trying to do.

In reply to Headley
Its a T-20..not an ODI..or a Test match, i thought he needed to do better than singles..either way..Raggs comparison to Shai Hopes twin centuries in a test match...laughable.
I need to see him play like this in the ODIs, where this approach is whats required.
I say this as well cos i saw him do the same in a Tallawahs run chase, when they needed to be going big, he was content to be taking singles, when that was not was required.
Listen if Englan had gunned down our score..people would be talking bout how he batted too slow

Considering he dispatched the 1st delivery in a test for SIX!

In reply to DIEHARD
what is the main problem with our ODI batters? They could hit 6's and 4's but could not rotate the strike. Powell done it with ease in that t20 game. When the right ball was dished up he struck it for a 4 or a six. In good measure if he bats like that in the ODI's coming up it will do us super fine.
2017-09-18 09:20:21
In reply to DIEHARD
I got the feelings that RPowel and Blackwood will never be able to do anything correct for you. If Powel did go for it as you suggested and and got caught you would be the first to say headless fellow, he should tried to rotate the strike.

You saying what I saying boss..he was batting for an ODI
Its not a great T20 knock.it was ok..a great knock would have seized back the momentum that the English took..as it was, his innings kind of played into the English' plans.
It was a satisfactory T-20 knock

Try and keep up.
You missed the posts where I find fault with Kyle? Holder? Taylor? Hetmyer? Aljo?
I will critique any WI player who I feel did something i didnt agree with.
I'm a fan/armchair critic..its part of why we watch sport.
Its why this MB exists!!!
Its a T-20..final 4 overs...I would have had no issue if he went big and got out and let Narine come in and have a go, its happy hour.
The English had wrested away our early advantage...I wanted to see pressure put back on them, a counter attack, at the end of the day..I think it was a great insult to compare his ODI style batting in a T-20 to Shai's performances in the recently concluded test..it was a bit excessive by Raggs.
Now..dont get me wrong, it was good batting, just dont think it was all that for a T20I in happy hour.
I hope he rotates the strike as easily in ODIS..and remember it depends on the game situation, coming in at 6/7..he'll be batting with the tail..2s needed more than giving singles to let the bunny eat up dot balls and get out.
He should watch tapes of Hussey or Symonds..they hit the boundraries or ran twos..they kept the strike, had be been doing that instead of block, single, block..single, six, THEN..I would have been impressed
2017-09-18 11:11:00
In reply to DIEHARD
Mayb i am mixing you up with thefacts. Hussy and Symonds need to watch us in T-20, how much T-20 world cup have they won? Mayb our way of blocking then lick six is the way to go in this format.

Referring to what he needs in the ODIS..not the T-20s, but even then if you agree that big hitting is the way to go in T-20s, then you will agree Rovman did not do enough, given the stage of the game, his SR of 147 batting in the last 4...so-so, Raggs embellished..that is all
2017-09-18 14:30:10
Is it that easy to powerhit and ROTATE THE STRIKE? I saw India set Aus (or rather DWL) 164 IN 21 OVERS and the world class Warner and Steve Smith trying to powerhit and instead hitting the ball straight in the air....
Rovman Powell will get there with time but remember Russell,Gayle DJ Bravo,Sammy,Dwayne Smith are all superstar T20 PLAYERS.
2017-09-24 12:24:19
Rashid to Powell, OUT, taken at long-on! This is coming down with snow on it, Powell aiming down the ground again, sends it straight up in the air and Woakes settles under the catch
